Today on Second Order Change, we are talking to Mario Fabbri.

Mario is a chef, filmmaker, and entrepreneur who started his journey studying actuarial science—a career path pushed on him by a guidance counselor that he didn’t want. After dropping out of college and betting on himself, Mario dove into entrepreneurship, filmmaking, and eventually food storytelling. Now, he’s a chef dedicated to inspiring others with plant-based content and intentional eating.

In this episode, Mario talks about finding purpose, taking risks, and turning small opportunities into big wins. From learning through wedding videos to firing clients that didn’t align with his values, Mario’s story is packed with lessons on risk-taking, knowing your worth, and following your passion.
